Official OSA COVID-19/Corona Virus Thread

I think the state has a report on the % of covid patients that you can reference. Not sure of the Methodology for the report, is it an average of all hospitals or what. I can only speak to the 2 hospitals I work at. I know the covid #’s but unsure if the maternity beds are counted in the total reported to the state, which can change the covid % drastically. But generally speaking, the hospital bed #’s are overwhelmed by the covid pandemic. ICU’s are still overflowing into other parts of the hospital. If that means 32% or 40%, I can’t say.
Unsure what liberal/conservative has to do with your job. I’m a conservative, and only report on what I see at work.

I had a virtual Dr. visit yesterday and my Dr. just recently recovered from Covid in Integris Baptist. I asked him how the atmosphere was in the hospital. He said Baptist was like 35% covid patients and Integris Portland - which is an overflow for Baptist - was 100% covid because its only covid. He said he was in Portland for 9 days and heard code blues several times a day.

Just FYI, if a loved one suddenly starts acting a little crazy, have them checked for Covid. In some people it can attack the brain etc and it can be deadly.

The OSDH case worker that called me when I had it asked if I experienced confusion. I said no, but later realized that I had difficulty remembering if and when I took meds. After recovering I still was frequently mentally slow. Well, slower than normal.

A few weeks ago I talked to nurse in the ER room at Integris on I-35, Edmond. I asked about the number of COVID-19 patients they see. He said the week before they had 1/2 of the ER filled with COVID-19 patients because they had no place else to put them, the hospital was full.

A friend of mine who had it mentioned this symptom, and said another person I know who had it experienced the same thing (both had tested positive). Said it was difficult to follow a train of thought out to its conclusion without getting side tracked...

Aren't rapid tests about 50% accuracy? Why don't they just flip a coin and if it lands on heads quarantine for 10 days, if it lands on tails continue on as normal for 2 weeks?

I’ve read / heard the rapid tests are less reliable but don’t know the specifics. I was intrigued by several other subjects in this WSJ article related to asymptomatic spread, masks, and surface contamination.

Edit: spelling

There are 2 kinds of rapid tests: antigen & pcr. The traditional pcr test is the 3rd type test & takes like 24 hrs. Antigen rapid test is less accurate than the 2 pcr tests. Ask for the pcr rapid test, if getting tested.
